    D ₹ 1,310 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given that: x(1 + r/100) = 4050 -----------(1) x(1 + r/100)3 = 4723.92---------------(2) Dividing eqn 2 by 1, we get (1 + r/100)2 = 4723.92/4050 (1 + r/100)2 = 11664/10000 (1 + r/100) = 108/100 (1 + r/100) = 1+ 8/100 therefore, r = 8% also, x(1 + r/100) = 4050 x = 4050 × 100/108 = 3750 SI = (3750 × 8 × 22)/(100 × 100) = Rs. 1320
